Do you suppose there are other clubs that use the word STAPH? And I don't mean when the health department visits.

I've seen "scray" instead of scary. I kind of like scray better.

Does anyone like "noone"? I can't believe how often it shows up.

I grade papers written by 10th graders.  The one the makes me want to murder is "prolly."  As in, It's prolly gonna rain tomorrow cuz clouds r moving in".  Even at that age, its inexcusable, but I've seen it on message boards and I cry when I think that someone over the age of 15 might use this one.

You have text messaging and chatrooms to blame for that.
 
 I was in communications in the Royal Navy and the radio operators basically had their own language by using radio transmission abbreviations in regular conversation. For example, instead of saying "I beg your pardon" if you didn't hear someone we would just say "I M I" which is morse code (.. -- ..) for 'say again'
 
 I think the youngsters who use 'prolly' and 'cuz' etc will outgrow it soon enough.
